Hello devs!
Is there?
No.
You have flashfire, which isn't a recovery, per say, but it does all of the functions of one, in an app.
Only 1 ROM works with OC1, which is Stang's ROM

There are no custom recoveries for OC1 or OF1 bootloaders.

Okay, so I have the VZW S4 (obviously) and I'm running VRUDMI1, rooted with Root De La Vega.
I downloaded ROMmanager and Tried to install CWM Recovery, it didn't work.
Then I downloaded GooManager and tried to install TWRP, also didn't work.
Is there another way to install custom recovery or am I to assume this is because the Bootloader has not been unlocked for this firmware?
If this bootloader has been unlocked could I be please be pointed in the right direction?\
Basically, my goal is to install a custom ROM and as far as I know, I need a custom recovery image and in order to do that I need to unlock my bootloader. Am I correct in these assumptions?

At this time your only option is Safestrap by Hashcode.

And that is a method of "dual-booting" or something right? So essentially, I could boot into a custom ROM but I couldn't overwrite the existing one, forever wasting the space that the original ROM takes up?

Some have installed a custom ROM into the stock slot. Do a little research and see if that's something you would want to do.

I think I am going to try it, seeing as it is my only option until the bootloader is unlocked for my kernel. Thank you guys so much.

As long as you understand that you can't flash anything but a Touchwiz ROM. You can't do that if your phone has firmware later than MDK.
No CM. No AOSP. And no, you can't downgrade to MDK firmware.

You need to research how to root your specific build. They're not all done the same way. As far as a custom recovery, your ONLY option is Safestrap. I suggest you do a lot of reading before you run into bigger problems.

Since he's on nk1, he can still downgrade back to nc5. Go to this thread and get the full wipe nc5:

OK. My baseband says NC5 now, according to plan. Is towelroot my only option? Is safestrap my only recovery option? I thought that if you try to flash a recovery to try a rom when you are rooted with towelroot that it will brick the phone.

I don't know if Towelroot is your only option for root, but it's what I used and it worked fine. As far as recovery, like I said above, Safestrap is your ONLY option.

We can only use towelroot and safestrap. There are a few good roms in the development section that we can flash. Hyperdrive, echoerom, and Eclipse are solid. There are a few others as well that are closer to stock or are hybrids (aosp feel with TW base). Check out that section and flash only the ones that say are compatible with SS. I'm running echoerom v39.1. Be sure to read all the instructions since some of these roms may have other files that need to be flashed with it. Happy flashing!
Hey guys. So I'm new to this device. And I updated to OC1 without knowing the consequences... Such as no SMS or Data...(I'm on T-Mobile) But I got root and installed stang5litre rom. AFAIK custom recoveries are a no no. So my only option of installing a rom is through flashfire. Now which roms can I install using this program?
Thanks in advance.
I would also like to know this, as it doesn't seem Flashfire is supported by most ROMs, but they still might work. I suppose if it failed once to Odin to stock and try another ROM...

If you're on OC1 the only Roms that you can flash are TW which there are only like 4 and the only stable one is Strang5Litre which I personally recommend.

Right now I'm on the oc1 bl running stangs rom is it impossible get ss at all if there is I'm willing to go through all the steps to get it
you can't use safestrap on the oc1 bootloader
Safestrap on OF1 ?

Am I understanding correctly that Safestrap will not support OF1 as well? I'm completely stock and just obtained root and would love to try loading some ROMs via SS.

I've a little Question.
I want to root my Phone. I've installed latest official Marshmallow update (G925FXXU3DPDP) and don't know what's the way to root. The cf-autoroot from File Chainfire is different from my current Buildnumber.
I saw a Video from "Highonandroid" in that he first flashed the SpaceX Kernel and then the Twrp, does this work?
One more Question: When i flashed Twrp and want to install a 5.1.1 over the Official Marshmallow, do i get a bootloop then?
Sorry for the Questions, but i am new at this and don't want to do anything wrong
Flash twrp as in original android development section. Then flash supersu.zip.
And no 5.1.1 rom on MM booloader.

If your firmware is before 4DPG2 you could still downgrade.

Doesn't matter if the build numbers aren't exactly the same. As long as your device is g925f zeroltexx the root will work fine.
I have 6.0.1 g925f and i used cf autoroot a few days ago and no issues or errors

Yeah you can use flashify to flash your roms and zips. Make sure you make backups first though of your kernel and recovery. Just incase.
Enjoy buddy
